VINNAPAS® EN 1028

1 of 218 products in this brand
VINNAPAS® EN 1028 is a self-crosslinking, aqueous polymer dispersion based on the monomers vinyl acetate and ethylene. It is manufactured without the use of plasticizers. This product is specifically designed to serve as a binder for soft hydrophobic nonwovens, providing them with high wet strength. Moreover, VINNAPAS® EN 1028 is an ideal choice as a binder for nonwovens that need to meet rigorous eco-labeling requirements.

Application Details

General

  • VINNAPAS® EN 1028 can be applied by spray, impregnation or foam.
  • Temperatures above 150°C are necessary to achieve proper crosslinking.

Polymer Dispersions

VINNAPAS® EN 1028 can be mixed with most of the VINNAPAS® dispersions and with many other aqueous polymer dispersions. However, the compatibility of the mixture should be tested by undertaking a storage test.

Defoaming Agents

Suitable defoaming agents include: 

  • SILFOAM® SE1662
  • FOAMASTER® WO 2310
  • Agitan® 352
  • SURFYNOL® DF58.

Their compatibility and efficiency in the formulation chosen should always be tested.

Thickening Agents

  • We recommend, in particular, products with neutral pH, e.g. those based on cellulose derivatives, polyvinyl alcohol or polyurethane, like example ACRYSOL® RM8.
  • Should alcali-swellable polyacrylic acid derivatives be used those need to be chosen that are effective with ammonia, in order not to interfere with the acid catalyzed cross-linking of VINNAPAS® EN 1028

Typical alkali-swellable thickening agents are, for example:

  • ROHAGIT® SD15
  • ACRYSOL® ASE60
  • RHEOLATE® 420
  • RHEOVIS® AS1130

The efficacy and compatibility of the formulation chosen should always be checked.

Storage & Handling

Shelf Life
6 Months
Storage Information
  • When the dispersion is stored in tanks, proper storage conditions must be maintained. VINNAPAS® EN 1028 has a shelf life of 6 months starting from the date of receipt if stored in the original, unopened containers at temperatures between 5 and 30°C.
  • Iron or galvanized-iron equipment and containers are not recommended because the dispersion is slightly acidic. Corrosion may result in discoloration of the dispersion or its blends when further processed. Therefore the use of containers and equipment made of ceramics, rubberized or enameled materials, appropriately finished stainless steel, or plastic (e.g. rigid PVC, polyethylene or polyester resin) is recommended. As polymer dispersions may tend to superficial film formation, skins or lumps may form during storage or transportation. Filtration is therefore recommended prior to utilization of the product.
